Has anyone heard of a Magic Kingdom Club?

I just read about it on passporter.com as a tip to save money but then when I did a search couldn't find anything else about it. Maybe it's an OLD tip that they just haven't removed.

It was a good source for Disney info and discounts but it has gone away. I believe it ended last year sometime.

gcbdad is correct, the Disney Club program ceased operations December 31, 2003.

The free Magic Kingdom Club was replaced by the pay for Disney Club which was eliminated at the end of last year to make room for the Disney Visa Card.:cry:

The Magic Kingdom card charged you a fee as well. Maybe not originally, but when I was a member they did.

thanks! Sorry it's gone. A lot of the "tips" on passporter.com were dated 1999, 2000 but I did get some other good ideas that I've copied and pasted into my "Disney Hints" file.
